Beautiful two bedroom condo situated above a wonderful Indian restaurant near one end of the Cville walkable mall.The beds are cloud-like soft, the ceilings high and the kitchen is vintage, combining to create a fun and wonderful atmosphere for whoever stays on the property.Located within nlocks of restaurants, bars, shopping and events, this was the prrfect place to spend a week visiting friends and family.

Charlottesville stay

While the overall stay was pleasant, street lights beamed and flashed all night - the drapes did not completely cover the windows. There are great restaurants just a few feet away.

Nice location

Only thing I would recommend the owner do is invest in a new bed and possibly better pillows for the downstairs room. Very uncomfortable spring mattress that was also extremely noisy with even the slightest movements. My wife and I had 3 pretty poor nights of sleep. However, the apartment itself was pristine and beautiful. Location is unparalleled. Easy remedy.

Perfect location & great views

This apartment was in the perfect location on the mall and just a short drive to the UVA campus, Monticello, and other sites. It had all the kitchen items you would need and smart TVs in every room, and the Nespresso coffee maker was great! My kids enjoyed the great views from the apartment windows and roof balcony.

Big City Connection w/ Close by Natural Wonder

The apartment has been maintained very well. All was provided for the stay to be even more comfortable than expected. The location is right above the Charlottsville mall so you are always close to wonderful restaurants and feel connected to the local community. Also, an incredible coffee shop (LoneLight directly across the street from the entrance to the apartment. It is also a fairly quick trip to visit incredible sites like Monticello, local vineyards, and Skyline Drive. I would very much recommend staying here.

Downtown Apartment

This apartment was conveniently located downtown Charlottesville within walking distance of most all the restaurants and places we wanted to visit which was a huge perk. Property manager was very quick to help on the weekend when we had an issue with the lockbox, which they replaced before we left. Apartment was very clean and as advertised; only downside was the noise from the neighbors after midnight. Highly recommend!

Great location

Location was great. Owner/ management company very responsive. Plenty of room for two couples or a small family. Trash from the group before us and some concerns with cleanliness of the bathroom. Curtain rod was broken in the downstairs bedroom leading to early morning sunshine. Overall, a good experience would likely stay here again if those things were addressed.

Right on the Mall

The apartment was very nice, clean, comfortable and wonderfully located...right on the Mall. The property manager was also very responsive when I was a bit confused about how to enter through the very good security. My only recommendation to future travelers would be to bring Nespresso pods. The apartment has a great Nespresso machine, though pods are hard to come by. However, there are very good coffee shops in the immediate area. Our thanks to the host. It was just what we needed.

Nice Apartment. Could use improvements to make it comfortable.

•Bed frames were incredibly squeaky, to the point that tiny movements would wake you up. •Floor is also very squeaky, rugs would help. •Furniture in living room a bit small and uncomfortable •More thorough cleaning, pretzel pieces found in cushions, floors were dirty •Natural light is very nice but better black out curtains would also be an improvement. •Great Location •Great Natural Light •Glad there was a steamer and hairdryer

Clean & accurate

Property was very clean, decorated simply but nicely, & pictures accurate. Kitchen had basic spices & things needed to cook a meal. Location was great being right on the outdoor mall, with a window & upstairs balcony overlooking it. Not sure if it was because we were there during a common spring break week, but lots of the stores/restaurants were closed or closed earlier than expected, so the mall was disappointing. Note that it is a 2nd floor walk-up, with an additional 18-20 stairs between the 1st & 2nd floors of the unit. Only recommendations would be to finish putting curtains on all the windows & provide a trash can in the kitchen/living area.

Location is the seller here

If you’re one concern is being as close to the restaurants, bars, and downtown mall, look no further. If your concerns are property cleanliness and a quiet environment, look elsewhere. The Gatsby is a large and old unit just off the downtown mall on 4th street. The property is feeling its age with rusting windows, a front door that has seen better days, and squeaky bed frames that “could” keep you up at night. Additionally, the restaurant below the unit blares club music until at least midnight each night. The unit was far from clean with dirty floors, hairs on the towels, and not enough soap for a 3 night stay. Given the price, I think you can find better honestly. 4 stars being propped up by the location and size.
